"This is not from the illustrated book of minerals, but a bit like the yellowspring stone in folklore. ”

Legend has it that on both sides of the River Styx, one side is the human world, and the other side is the underworld. On both sides of the River Styx, there is a kind of flower blooming, which is basically known to everyone - the flower of the other side.

But on both sides of the River Styx, no one knows whether it is the Manju Sawa of the world.

Because no one has seen the Styx that divides the two realms with their own eyes, and they don't know what kind of flowers bloom on both sides of the river.

But there is a legend related to this kind of yellow spring stone.

I don't know how many years ago, there was a very loving couple. They respect each other like guests, love each other, and although the days are bitter, they are also very sweet.

But one day, in a dream, the man came to the rumored underworld. On both sides of the River Styx, no, to be precise, on the side of the man grew Manju Sawa as bright red as blood.

But what is even more wonderful is that the land on both sides of the River Styx is not black soil as the world knows, but a transparent crystalline crystal.

The man stayed in that wonderful place for three whole days, during which time he found that every six o'clock in the morning, this crystal emitted a strong orange-yellow light, illuminating the underworld on this side.

The man was stunned by this spectacle, and when he saw this unrivaled beauty, he forgot the passage of time and stared blankly at the flowers dancing in the wind for three days.

Every night from six o'clock in the evening to six in the morning, these twelve hours are the time for this colorful flower, and the man wanted to continue to observe, but at one moment he was surprised to see his wife.

He wanted to call her cordially and share this stunning beauty with her, but her wife did not respond to him, but simply kept walking towards the shore of the Yellow Spring.

The man thought it strange and hurried to follow, only to see that his wife had submerged in the waters of the River Styx, and then disappeared again.

The man was anxious, and just then he spotted an old man on the edge of the River Styx, with rough palms, skin as rough as the bark of an old tree, and cloudy eyes that could barely open their eyes. But the man didn't dare to be careless, he knew that this was the ferryman by the River Styx, the legendary guardian of this pure land forever.

The man stepped forward to inquire, but to his surprise, the old man agreed to take him across the River Styx.

He naturally asked curiously why this was, but the old man just smiled slightly:

"This ship is for the living, you are a mortal, you will not destroy this pure land, but remember, do not set foot on the land of the underworld, otherwise you will never come back. ”

The man naturally nodded knowingly.

But now it is his wife who worries him even more. His wife, who had already come to the underworld, should have left him, and he felt an unprecedented fear, but even more doubt.

The River Styx can't really be called a river, as it's almost endless, and it might be more appropriate to call it the Sea of Styx.

After some time, the man arrived on the other side of the underworld.

Silence, a dead silence. There is no such crystalline land here, there is only an endless black soil, and the black flowers on the other side.

The man looked at the distant city, and naturally had a sense of vicissitudes in his heart, this legendary place, he didn't expect to come here.

Seeing that his wife in front of him was smiling at him, the man stepped on the land of the underworld without hesitation, and lived and died together, which was a vow they had made a long time ago.

The ferryman didn't seem to feel much surprised, he seemed to have expected all this a long time ago, looking at the two people who hugged each other, the old man also smiled:

"From now on you are eternal ... ”

The two bowed to the old man, and then disappeared from the old man's sight and went to the distant city of the underworld.

Then the old man's voice was drowned in the breeze:

"The other side has bloomed for 12 years, 12 years for 12 years, and 72 years of waiting, you are still young, but she has long since disappeared into the loess... ”

And just where the man came from, I saw the man who looked like a "sleeping beauty", maintaining his youthful appearance, and stopped breathing the moment he stepped on the underworld...

The strange crystalline was later called Huangquan stone...

。。。。。。。

"How was this story recorded?"

The first thing Jidao has to do is naturally to confirm the authenticity of this matter, since the man and his wife have set foot in the underworld, who can record this matter?

It was found in the man's relics after his death, and when he was put on a shroud, it was discovered that such words had been recorded in his original robe. ”

Ji Dao nodded, the kind of Huangquan stone depicted in this legend is indeed similar to the stone in their hands, if it is really Huangquan stone, then the role of these stones is obvious.

On one side of the River Styx is the underworld, and on the other side is the human world. This kind of huangquan stone is probably a symbol of the world. With the light shining from this stone, it is natural that those ghosts outside will not enter these mansions.

In this case, this is the intersection of yin and yang, the morning is the time for the living, and the evening is the time for ghosts, and the inhabitants here really live here.

Maybe you'll get used to it after getting along for a long time.

"The other side blooms in 12 years, and it blooms in 12 years... ”

Ji Dao repeated this sentence, could it be that the speed of time passing over there is not the same as here? No. The place where the man is located should still be the human world, and the passage of time should be the same.

So the only explanation is the colorful light, illusion?

In the cognition of the Extreme Dao, only illusion can change people's concept of time, and the colorful light may also be the source of hallucination.

It seems that there must be a huge difference between the Manzhu Sawa on the other side of the underworld and the human world, and Jidao has also seen Manzhu Sawa and the plants growing next to the cemetery, but the colorful ones and the ones that are completely pitch black are unheard of by him.

"Qianxuan, what does this mineral mean here?"

Extreme Dao is now thinking about this question, according to legend, only on the side of the River Styx can have this kind of crystal, why did this appear here.

"It probably has something to do with why it appeared. ”

Ji Dao nodded, what Qian Xuan said was exactly what he thought in his heart.
